What makes truck accidents more serious than regular car accidents in Hawaii?

Mynor Salazar | |

Truck accidents are significantly more devastating than typical car accidents due to the massive size and weight difference between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles. While car accidents might result in broken bones or lacerations, truck crashes often cause catastrophic injuries including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or even wrongful death. Commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, compared to the average passenger car weighing around 3,000 pounds. This enormous weight disparity means that the impact forces in truck accidents are exponentially greater, leading to more severe injuries, extensive property damage, and longer recovery times for victims.
